- OIL-BURNER.

Application fled November 13, 1919. Serial No.v 337,663. 7

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AMYUIT L. Wilson, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Elizabeth, county of Union, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Oil-Burners,

of which the following is aspecification. p The present invention relates to animproved burner for burningfuel oil or other types of liquid fuel, especially those of heavy density, the burner being designed to mix thoroughly the atomizing fluid which 1s 111% jected under pressure through the burner and. is thoroughly mixed in the burner, so that when it emerges from the burner into the furnace it is adapted to provide for a more perfect combustlon.

The present invention vide a burner of this kind in whichthe uid under pressure, such as steam or air, which acts as'an atomizing agent, and the fuel, are so a 'tated in passing out through the mout piece of the burner as to be thoroughly mixed, and the heavy oil, when it emerges,

has been broken up into minute particles.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 1s a central vertical section of my improved type of burner. Fig. 2 is a'to view of the bottom or lower' member 0 the burner, and Fig; 3 is a bottom view of the top orupper member.

It will be evident that the burner can be made in one piece or can be separable at desired points, but I have illustrated the burner asbeing made of an upper and lower member, the upper member 10 and the lower I liquid fuel, preferably oil of heavy density, 15 terminating in an orifice 16,

member 11 belng formed to provide for the proper channels and passages for material through theburner. he members are fastened together by suitable means, the form shown consisting of bolts 12 passlng through the flanges 13 and 14 of the top and bottom members, respectively.

The top member 10 is provided with an inlet passage 15, which passage is for the the passage I this orifice preferably extending downward. The lower member 11v has an inlet passage 17, which inlet passage merges into a sl1t or orifice 18 which passes across the orifice l6 and thus not only acts to carry with it is designed ro-- throughthe outlet passage by reason of corrugations, the corrugations 21 of the top wall and the'corrugations 22 of the lower wall being disposed so that the mixture between the oil and the steam is complete.

It will be understood that valved connections for conducting the fuel and the air or steam to the burner are em loyed as usual, but these are not illustrate in the drawing because they form no part of the present invention and their uses and structures are well known in the art.

The outlet passage is usually formed by extending flanges from the front of each member, which flanges are spaced apart when the members are assembled and are shaped so that the side walls of the passage are diver ent from the slit 18 and the orifice 16, and t e top and bottom walls are relatively close together so that a thin, fan-like stream of the mixture is projected from the burner.

I claim:

1. A burner comprising a casing with an inlet assage for fluid fuel and an inlet passage or an atomizing agent under pressure, the casing also having an outlet passage at the inner end of which the inlet passages merge, said outlet passage having side walls that are divergent and having transverse corrugations in its top and bottom walls,

said walls being comparatively close to- Specification of Letters Patent. Pate t d J 25 1 921 Q i nsce ctt 3. A burner comprising a casing made up of two members one member having an inlet passage terminating in an orifice, a flange extending beyond the orifice, the other mem- 5- ber having an inlet passage terminating in an orifice, the second member having a flange beyond the orifice, the flanges having their inner faces corrugated and disposed so that when the members are assembledthe flanges are spaced apart to form a corru- 10 gated passage between them and the orifices open' into said corrugated passage.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereto set my hand, this 10th day of November, 1919. g
